a) An advantage that the majority party in the House of Representatives has is that they decide which bills will get voted on and when they will get voted on.

b) A difference between the House and Senate is the filibuster. In the House a majority vote passes legislation, but in the Senate, a filibuster can block a vote, which is when an individual extends a debate in order to delay or prevent a vote on a proposal.

c) If a bill gets passed in the House, then it could go to the Senate and be blocked by a filibuster. The House could pass the bill, moving it to the Senate to get voted on, where it is then not completely agreed upon and prevented from possibly ever being voted on by one person who extends the debate for a period of time.
